I would bet that somewhere there is someone who would like to have as many as most of us have. I bought a Ruger Speed 6 from a forum member. I like it, and it is a great shooter. Probably could sell it for what I paid for it. It fits my hand nicely, and is accurate. It will get handed down someday.
